Charles Barkley’s Nike Air Max2 CB ’94 model has been a sneakerhead favorite since the mid 90′s, especially with the basketball crowd, and now the beloved kicks are returning as a Retro release. You may have already seen some alternate colorways of this shoe, like the Transformers 2 version that we showed you earlier, but as is the case with most classics, nothing ever looks quite as good as that original color scheme. These Black/White/Pure Purple beauties were a perfect match for Sir Charles’s Phoenix Suns uniform and still capture that 90′s nostalgia nicely. To their credit, the design still looks current, even when compared with many of today’s new styles. If you missed out on these when they were Retroed a few years ago, here’s your chance to make up for it. These were originally slated for a June 1st release, but select Nike retailers, such as Hangtime, have some pairs in stock already.

The Air Jordan Flight 45 features an interesting mix of design elements from classic Air Jordan models. The sole is clearly pulled from the Air Jordan III, but the rest is mostly new. In this new colourway, they’re mostly made of a rich red leather with white and black accents. Among the more interesting features is the heel tab, which features “23″ in braille. This is our first view at the new palette and you can grab a limited size run from Marquee Sole.

Anybody up for some more white AF1s? The Nike Air Force 1 ’07 Low appears above in another classic style for summer. Nearly the entire shoe is white: leather upper, laces, tongue, sole. The only additions to an otherwise blank template are royal blue accents on the tongue tag, heel tab and rear midsole area. These have been out for a little while but since no one has written them up we thought we’d share. They will be perfect for your warm weather rotation and are available from Sneakerhead.

So much has been said about this package in anticipation of its release, it’s almost hard to believe they’re finally here. The Air Jordan V Retro Toro Bravo Package contains two pairs of Chicago-coloured kickers we’ve been drooling over for months. With a pair each in black reflective 3M or bright red suede, they’re unquestionably the hottest retros in a long while. Previously slated for a May 30th release, they were pushed up to this Saturday, May 23rd to allow the Nubuck Air Jordan XIIs to shine separately. If you have doubts about their availability in your area or whether you’ll be able to grab your own, you can avoid the rush and cop them today from Sneakerhead.

At the 21 Mercer Nike Sportswear Store in NYC, a run of solid light grey Air Force 1 Low Premium MX iD’s was created for Nike iD Studio customers to try on in the store. Apparently, so many of the people that tried them on asked if they could buy a pair, that Nike has now decided to produce a very limited run of the “Try-On’s” for a retail release. Only 35 pairs will be available to the public, to be split up between 21 Mercer in New York City, the Nike iD Studio in London and Tokyo’s AF1 Republic. Act fast if you are near one of these spots, because these super-clean kicks will not be around for long.

We gave you a preview of this latest Nike SB Dunk Low Premium model all the way back in March and now they are hitting stores in the U.S. as another one of Nike SB’s very solid May releases. These kicks are ultra-clean with a white on white upper that features sections of nubuck, suede and smooth leather with perforations on the toe box and midpanel. A white midsole and a classic-looking gum outsole add to the crisp look with minimal black accents on the tongue label and heel panel. Note that the tongue label is now white with black branding as opposed to the black with white print from previous samples. If you’ve been waiting around for these, you can get them right now at Kix-Files. You can check out a nice close-up of these beauties after the jump.

Don’t panic, but the eagerly awaited Nike Foamposite Pro in the beloved Pearl colorway will be dropping today at House of Hoops. Shipments are expected to arrive this afternoon and will go on sale immediately. Quantities are still not known, so if you’ve been waiting patiently for these, you might want to drop what you’re doing and get over to House of Hoops immediately. The last minute release news will surely ruin a lot of sneakerheads’ days, but the good news is, without time to prepare and camp out, you’re chance of getting a pair might have just got a little better if you head right over. If you haven’t already run out the door, you can check out some more looks at these kicks after the jump. Via FootLockerUnlocked.

If it’s your own signature shoe, can it still be a PE? The answer is that as long as the shoe is produced in a personalized colorway that isn’t released for retail, we guess it can. So is the case with this Air Penny IV that was made for Anfernee Hardaway during his stint with the Phoenix Suns. It’s a shame that Penny was always battling injuries in Phoenix or there may have been more demand for these to hit stores. Sadly, that will probably never happen, but this never worn deadstock model is available now in a size 15. If you are a Penny fan, an Air Penny IV fan, or you just think these kicks are sick, you can scoop them up from Osneaker. You can check out some detailed images of these rare stunners after the jump.

A little while ago, we showed you an Air Jordan 1 High model that uses a very similar colorway to this Jordan Phly Legend, so if you’re getting tired of the never ending string of Air Jordan 1 releases, these kicks offer a nice classic-looking alternative. The shoe sports a Faded Taupe canvas upper with a White toebox, midsole and laces and additional Midnight Navy trim on the toe, lining, tongue piping and a few other choice spots. The Jordan wings logo appears on the side of the ankle with the accompanying Jumpman embroidered onto the heel. The conservative colorway makes this one of the most versatile Phly Legend models yet, taking the shoe’s casual design and running with it by using a classy color scheme. If you are a fan of this latest version, you can find a pair right now at Sneakerhead.

Converse Japan’s Expo Okinawa collection continues with the latest edition of one of their most beloved models. The Jack Purcell TG-Camo takes its inspiration from US military installations prevelant in the prefecture post-World War II. Constructed with a ripstop nylon upper, they feature the same tiger stripe camoflauge worn by American servicemen during that era. They feature a black foxing band that reaches forward to extend the toe cap further than most Purcell models. Anything but invisible, you can cop thee now from FLAUGE. via FRESHNESS
